This episode was originally made as the opening episode, hence the presence of introductory exposition. (edit)

Gideon: Don't think!
Galen: Yes, quite right. If you wanted to think, you shouldn't have joined the military in the first place! (edit) Galen's Hologram: [trying to catch the attention of the aliens] Oh my, whatever should I do? They have all left without me. I knew I would forget where we parked that shuttle. I hope something DREADFUL doesn't happen to me. Oh look, something dreadful! (edit) Galen: I want you to know Matthew, I heard that bit about my only showing up when most needed and least wanted! Good thing for you, that I don't hold a grudge.
Gideon: Yes you do.
Galen: Never contradict a technomage, when he's saving your life again! (edit) Gideon: He's a technomage. They like that. He appears when you want him least and need him most... (edit) Galen: In the fullness of time. (edit)

This episode does not have any trivia. Add some now!

Lord of the Rings: Galen tells Dureena "expect me when you see me", which is a departing line used by Gandalf in LOTR. (edit)
